Deterministic epidemic models with explicit household structureThomas House
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Gibbet Hill Road, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK
Math Biosci 213:29-39. 2008..Finally we consider the use of prophylactic vaccination, responsive vaccination, or antivirals to combat epidemic spread and focus on whether it is optimal to target controls at entire households or to treat individuals independently...
Modelling behavioural contagionThomas House
Warwick Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK
J R Soc Interface 8:909-12. 2011..A parsimonious model is proposed that incorporates several observed features of behavioural contagion not seen in existing epidemic model schemes, leading to metastable behavioural dynamics...
Modelling the impact of local reactive school closures on critical care provision during an influenza pandemicThomas House
Warwick Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Gibbet Hill Road, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK
Proc Biol Sci 278:2753-60. 2011....
Epidemic prediction and control in clustered populationsThomas House
Warwick Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
J Theor Biol 272:1-7. 2011....
Insights from unifying modern approximations to infections on networksThomas House
Department of Biological Sciences, Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Gibbet Hill Road, Coventry, UK
J R Soc Interface 8:67-73. 2011..The success of these new models provides improved understanding about the interaction of network structure and transmission dynamics...
The impact of contact tracing in clustered populationsThomas House
Warwick Mathematics Institute and Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry, United Kingdom
PLoS Comput Biol 6:e1000721. 2010..In this way we contribute to the general theory of network-based interventions against infectious disease...
Contingency planning for a deliberate release of smallpox in Great Britain--the role of geographical scale and contact structureThomas House
Warwick Mathematics Institute and Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
BMC Infect Dis 10:25. 2010..consider two key questions currently unanswered in the literature: firstly, what is the optimal spatial scale for intervention; and secondly, how sensitive are results to the modelling assumptions made about the pattern of human contacts?..
A motif-based approach to network epidemicsThomas House
Warwick Mathematics Institute and Dept Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
Bull Math Biol 71:1693-706. 2009..We present a more general approach, based on the prevalence of different four-motifs, in the context of ODE approximations to network dynamics. This is shown to outperform existing models for a range of small world networks...
Household structure and infectious disease transmissionT House
Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK
Epidemiol Infect 137:654-61. 2009..Since these benefits of childhood vaccination are a product of correlations between household size and number of dependent children in the household, our results are qualitatively robust for a variety of disease scenarios...
The role of routine versus random movements on the spread of disease in Great BritainLeon Danon
Department of Biological Sciences and Mathematics Institute, University of Warwick, Gibbet Hill Road, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK
Epidemics 1:250-8. 2009..We also show that spurious long distance movements present in the census data do not have a significant impact on the development of a potential epidemic in Great Britain...
Networks and the epidemiology of infectious diseaseLeon Danon
School of Life Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL, UK
Interdiscip Perspect Infect Dis 2011:284909. 2011..As such, considerable importance is placed on analytical approaches and statistical methods which are both rapidly expanding fields. Throughout this review we restrict our attention to epidemiological issues...
